Hans Mueller

Research Professor

Hans-Reinhard Müller is a Space Physicist specializing in numerical modeling of the heliosphere, the region around the Sun (or similarly, around another star) where the solar wind interacts with the surrounding interstellar gas. This research relates to space missions such as VOYAGER, IBEX, and the Hubble Space Telescope. After working as a researcher at the Univ. of Delaware and at UC Riverside, Dr. Müller joined Dartmouth in 2003.
